Unusual names that are a one off - never heard it before or since

[HoneyandRum]

I met a lovely little boy and his mum in the US, he was about 5 and was called Caspian.

Maybe a Narnia fan?

Karis is not Welsh, it's Greek meaning graceful. Sounds the same as the Welsh though which is the Welsh word for love.

I know a baby Galahad.

I have a relative called Cinderella.

I also know of a family whose children are Blue (Boy), River (Boy) and Storm (Girl).

I have a cousin called Friday, she hates it and uses her middle name. I also know a Hero and worked with a Viva.

Oh and I had a friend named Jardine when I was a teenager.

I have just remembered my brother's ex -girlfriends Chola and Jaleh

I worked with a woman called Autumn, and I knew a guy called Xenon.

There was a boy called Orange at my sons nursery.

Cherish
Merlin
Tansy

My two have top 20 names, damn you dh and your lack of sense of adventure

Good to know someone else is using Galahad too - the chap who went with the name was a real gentleman, so I have nice associations with it.

Tiger - I also knew a Tansy growing up and a good friend is called Sorrel.

I also know a Lanceolot !
Blaze - my sisters friend
Bear - a friends new baby

By the way, the God I mentioned was actually
God Shammgod! Can you imagine? He is an american basketball player, my cousin met him.
I also forgot girls/women called:

Wealthy
Female (pronounced feh-mol-ley)
Consuela
London

I love suvi too! Not a crazy name, just not one heard everyday.

What about Blythe? I've only ever met one, though of course, there are the Blythe dolls. She also had a dd called Ivy, who is definately the only Ivy I have ever come across. But there was Ivy the terrible in the beano.

I know a Rodaidh (roddy)

I do know a Blaise. It is a French name.

I don't think I've ever met someone with a completely unique name. I've seen plenty of unique names of people though. I know people with unusual or rare ones. I've known a Blythe.

My eldest daughter has a (I think) very rare name. I've never come across it in real life. I have however found quite a few peeople on facebook with her name, some in the UK, most abroad. Most people with it seem to be middle eastern. But it doesnt come up as a name when I google it. I would love to know the origins of it but just turned up blanks

I LOVE Storm - it's my DMIL maiden name, so would love to incorporate it into future DCs names if possible.

I knew a Blanche growing up - her mum's maiden name was White and her dad was French, so it was the perfect name for her, really!

Aren't lots of these just names from other cultures? Aslan is a Turkish for example? And Nest is Welsh.

oh I know a Tequilla. In my sons school there is a boy called Jumper and a girl called Blueberry. Quite ridiculous if you ask me, all I can think is it must have been the preg hormones...!

I also know a Winsome (Carribean lady) which I love picturing how they chose that

Seeker yes, they are mostly from other cultures. The thread was just asking for names you've only ever heard once though rather than poking fun. That's how I took it anyway.

I love names, always so interesting what is deemed normal in one culture but not in another. Take Spain, you get surrounded by small boys called Jesus but imagine if anyone in the UK decided their child was worthy of being named after the son of God!

Beata is a common name in Germany. Nice one too! I know a Gawaine. Top, old name. Nice man.

I've met an Anniversary!

Know an Autumn. Also met a Bluesette.

Encountered an Orville in the past but apparently it's not that uncommon in the West Indies.

Calla

Bosco

I really like Calla. Not if it's Kala?

I heard a little girl being called Gemini the other day. I also knew of a baby years ago who was named something like finbarr dragon. Can't remember if there was another name as well. I also know a toddler called aslan who is Turkish s think it must be quite common rather than unusual!
